Car Lease Specials are in for March. Thank you for your patience. I know a lot of enthusiastic people are looking to buy a new car at the beginning of every month and can use all of the car leasing information you can get your hands on. For those lucky ones who are getting an unexpected tax refund and shopping for a new car, it makes sense to put some of that  money in the bank to cover the costs of the registration fees.

Best Car Lease for January 2010

Happy New Year

Best Car Lease

Best Car Lease

What is the Best Car Lease for the New Year? The best one I found is the 2010 Toyota Camry which Leases for $199.00 a month for 36-months and $1,699.00 down, including first-month payment. The Toyota Camry LE Sedan has a very good LVR of just 1.08%. This actually tops the Toyota RAV4 SUV which I raved about last month in our SUV Lease Specials for December.  This month the Toyota RAV4 lease offer is not quite as attractive. The low payment of $199.00 is the same, but an extra $500 down payment is required. For January 2010, I've rated seven cars as having excellent lease values based on the fact their Lease Value Ratio (LVR) is 1.16 or less. Notice the trend here?

  • The Toyota Camry is on top once again.
  • Low to medium-priced Japanese sedans are near the top.
  • SUV's and more expensive luxury cars like BMW and Audi are closer to the bottom.

Speaking of luxury cars, have you ever seen a worse leasing deal than the BMW 550i? $809 a month plus $6,184 down payment?  This is the kind of car lease that gives car leasing a bad name. The expensive-to-lease BMW 550i is another example of how a sagging economy has hurt. The resale values of expensive cars are not what they used to be. When they are 2-3 years old, it becomes hard to sell such an expensive car. Obviously, $61,000 cars are taking a bigger depreciation hit these days. You are probably wondering why Cadillac (last month's winner) is not on the list. Check back soon. Cadillac could end up this month's winner again. Read the rest of this entry

Best Leases. December 2009 Car Lease Specials

Cadillac 2010 STS

Cadillac 2010 STS

Cadillac is back in the car leasing business. Judging by this month's lease specials, they have come back with a bang. The 2010 Cadillac STS AWD tops all other lease offers with one of the lowest LVR (Lease Value Ratios) recorded since these Monthly Car Lease Ratings began last year. A 48 month lease is somewhat rare these days, but it does have a few advantages. Personally, I wouldn't mind keeping a quality luxury car for four years. Especially, when I consider the high costs for taxes and registration to drive a new car every 2-3 years. I doubt that many of us would complain about keeping a $50,000 luxury car for four years with only a $399 car lease payment. Read the rest of this entry
